[00:19.090]Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him well
[00:25.090]He was alone into his distance
[00:27.980]He was deep into his well
[00:32.250]I could guess what he was laughing at, but I couldn't really tell
[00:38.560]Now the story's told that Adam jumped, but I've been thinking that he fell
[00:49.410]Together we went traveling, as we received the call
[00:55.060]His destination India, and I had none at all
[01:02.750]Well, I still remember laughing with our backs against the wall
[01:08.380]So free of fear, we never thought that one of us might fall
[01:16.620]I sit before my only candle, but it's so little light to find my way
[01:27.380]Now this story unfolds before my candle
[01:33.170]Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
[01:39.150]But I feel just like a candle in the way
[01:44.690]I guess I'll get there, but I wouldn't say for sure
[02:03.430]When we parted we were laughing still, as our goodbyes were said
[02:09.220]And I never heard from him again as each our lives we led
[02:16.950]Except for once in someone else's letter that I read
[02:22.900]Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead
[02:31.310]I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the way
[02:42.280]Now this journey appears before my candle
[02:48.180]As a song that's growing fainter the harder that I play
[02:54.320]But I fear before I end I'll fade away
[02:59.430]But I guess I'll get there, though I wouldn't say for sure
[03:24.590]Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long
[03:30.630]And when I stood myself beside him, I never though I was as strong
[03:37.960]Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song
[03:43.860]Well I'm not the one to say I know, but I'm hoping he was wrong
[03:52.080]I'm holding out my only candle, though it's so little light to find my way
[04:02.970]Now this story's been laid beneath my candle
[04:08.570]And it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
[04:14.790]Yes, I feel just like a candle in the way
[04:19.710]I hope I'll get there, but I never pray
[04:49.390]
